I received a very pretty jar of nuts packed in syrup. while a few nice pistachios and walnuts gleam on the outside, the great majority of the nuts inside seem to be minced hazelnuts or maybe almonds. Very bland, to the point where i wondered if they were actually peanuts. They're pretty small, though, grain of rice size. Any suggestions as to what I can do with them? (all i can think of is baklava and i really don't like phyllo dough) thx

Unfortunately, the only vegan ice cream in this country is the ice cream i make myself, and i can't be bothered (especially now the weather is getting colder).they really have almost no taste, so they're a pretty boring topping. the syrup is "supposed to be" honey, i.e. it's corn syrup with some sort of flavoring in it, so it is pretty thick. maybe i will separate them and use the syrup for something.... (and the nuts will go in the dog food....)
